You can tell Summer is coming to an end, the temperature is dropping and the nights are getting colder. I am finding I either get under my blanket in bed or jump up and snuggle next to Old Two Legs in the early hours of the morning! Even Holly has taken to sleeping curled up in a ball instead of flat on her back with her legs pointing out like a Star Fish!

The wind has picked up and although the sun is shining, there are more clouds in the sky than normal!

Our run along The Sea Wall was OK, the sun was shining and Holly had got rid of her Tick and was feeling a lot better!

Happy Holly!

I was considering a Deep Paddle but after dipping my foot in the water, I decided that a run along the beach was a better idea!

Well, maybe Not!

Back we came to The Sea Wall at lunch time, after our morning snooze and a woof at the birds in the back garden.

This time Holly had the pickle in her! First of all she tried to get me into trouble by pinching a Fisherman's lunch.

She said that she would distract him by being all Friendly and Tail Waggly while I had a rummage around in his shopping bag for anything edible.

Trouble was, OTL was right behind me!

Go on! Have a Rummage Around!

So, having failed at that we got into a game of 'Chase', I chased Holly and did the old 'Tail Grab and Twist' trick but this time I lost my grip and we both nearly went flying into the sea!

Gotcha!

It was only when I let go at the last moment did I realise what sort of speed we were doing!

Watch out for the Sea!

It was a bit later that Holly tried to get me going again, she ran ahead and pretended she had this big juicy chew and was eating it all before I got there!

But I could see it was really a bit of wood!

Look at this Chew!

I called out 'You can't fool me, I can see it's made of wood and I pee'd on it this morning!

Yuk! Puppy Pee!

Yuk! Says Holly, I wondered what that taste was!

While she was spitting it out and going Yuk Yuk and Spit Spit, I was chasing after OTL to tell him the joke!

Hey! You Gotta hear This!

Back home we had a lazy afternoon snoozing and woofing at the birds, there seems to be a lot of them now the feeders are back hanging up after OTL had finished with that bit of the garden.

He is still only half way through the back bit but can't do any more 'cos the garden waste bins are all full up and the Bin Men don't call until Friday!

Let's hope it doesn't rain this weekend or OTL will miss out on some gardening and will have to sit indoors watching the F1 Racing, poor thing!

About Me

Hello, my name is Daisy and I was taken away from
Mum and Dad by Old Two Legs and The Missus one cold dark evening. It was a bit
traumatic at the time but we all soon settled down and everything is OK now.

My sister Holly came to live with us about a year later and between the pair of us we manage to keep these Two Legs in line!

In December 2012, we were joined by Snowflake, a little ferret we found in our garden. She had her own home in OTL's office called Snowy Heights!

Then in July 2013 Mr Brambles, a super Sandy Hob Ferret, came to live with us and be a mate for Snowflake. We sadly lost Mr Brambles to old age in September 2015. A gentle ferret who will be missed terribly. We also lost Miss Snowflake in November 2015. She has left a big hole in our hearts, she was a real Daddy's Girl to the end.

There arrived two new ferrets in August 2015, Miss May and Miss April who are sisters, born in 2013, we think! They were full of fun and mischief and kept up the tradition of pinching our biscuits, just like Brambles did!

Sadly Miss April contracted Cardiomyopathy, which is a heart condition. She died in September 2016 and is resting in a flower pot in the garden with Snowflake and Brambles.

We were down to two ferrets and an empty cage but that didn't last long, a brother and sister ferrets needed a 'Forever Home' and Fred & Wilma moved in. They are about two and a half years old, so they were born 2012/2013. Fred is a gentle soul who loves cuddles with OTL and Wilma a bossy sister but loves OTL! We reckon them to be Polecat Coloured Ferrets.

It was a shock when Wilma was attacked by a dog and unfortunately died of shock a few hours later. Like Snowflake, Brambles and April, she is also sleeping in a flower pot in our garden.

Fred was not happy about being on his own and he was introduced to Wendy, a Polecat Coloured Ferret who found her way to the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue.

Introductions went well to begin with but within a day or so she began instructing Fred on just who was really in charge!

We had something similar with Miss May who lost her sister to Cardiomyopathy (Weak Heart). Miss May is a feisty young lady and she was introduced to Eric de Ferret while we were down at the Harrietsham Ferret Rescue and although she tried to be a bit bossy, he was having none of it! He may only be six months old but her didn't back down and the pair came to an agreement!

So young Eric moved in and they both started to learn how to get on together!

OTL takes us walking every day and we have 'Adventures'! The Missus feeds us, so, what more can a pair of puppies and family of fun loving ferrets ask for?
